I came across this: HTTP 301 Redirect in ColdFusion
<CFHEADER statuscode="301" statustext="Moved Permanently"> <CFHEADER name="Location" value="http://www.somacon.com/";> I'd be interested in what everyone thinks about using the above, I've always used the meta way before. I'm also thinking it might be a good idea to leave the meta keywords, site description and page title tags in the old page? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bracciano [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 May 2011 20:05 To: cf-talk Subject: CF 301 Redirect on an HTML page Hello all- I have a rather strange request. I have old web pages that Google is still finding links for so I want to utilize this power. These old links have new equivalents. The problem is, the old links are so old that they are .htm files. My site is now CF8 hosted. Doing a simple 301 redirect is proving quite difficult. The complications: I am on a shared server, so I don't have access to .htaccess. That option is gone for a redirect. I tried to put <cflocation> tags on the old links, but because they are .htm files, the server won't execute the <cflocation> tags. I asked the server to tell CF to process all .htm extensions as .cfm, but they can't do this because it's a shared server and it could cause problems. So, I tried to put the following code in my application.cfm file. <cfif #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# EQ "old-page.htm"> <cflocation url="new-page.cfm" addToken="yes" statusCode="301"></cfif> However, this doesn't seem to be working either. I think because the old links are .htm files, application.cfm isn't even running when I attempt to go to the old links and test the code. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. -Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344288 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
